Aki

Another awesome lesson with Aki! If you need to improve your Japanese and want to have an incredibly fun time then she’s your go-to teacher for both progressing and enjoying the language journey you’re embarking on!

I am really impressed with how intuitive Aki-san is- she always picks up on the things that I'm struggling with, even if I don't realize what they are. Then she knows exactly what to do to help me improve. Additionally, she does all this while still having a fun and engaging conversation! ありがとうございました！また次のレッスンを楽しみにしています！

あき先生が根気よく宿題の文を復習しました。レッスンのノートと宿題の質問が好きです。米からジョギングルートまでの話で、面白いレッスンです。ありがとうございました！ Aki Sensei patiently reviewed my homework sentences. I like her lesson notes and homework questions. We had an interesting lesson, with conversation topics from rice to running routes. Thank you very much!

If you are looking for not only an incredible teacher, but also an incredible human, Aki-sensei is the person you're looking for. I've studied with many teachers on italki, and no one makes me feel more comfortable. She is patient, great at continuing a conversation, an expert at explaining unknown Japanese words/ phrases in Japanese, and most importantly she makes me more passionate about learning the language. My lessons with Aki are primarily conversation practice-based. However, I have provided vocal lists or grammar points that I have struggled with in the past and she was able to explain them and integrate them into our conversation practice. I think if you are seeking conversation practice and to build speaking confidence (like me), Aki is the best teacher for you.

Great lesson with Aki talking about my recent road trip and Yosemite National Park, how different peoples fit levels are, hiking in the heat vs shade, distracted drivers and the many different English accents! Always a super fun lesson with lots of laughs, great conversation and super helpful notes!

2年半からも、日本語のレッスンを受けなかったので、ちょと緊張してきました。けど､あき先生が励ましてくれて、速く心が休まりました。会話が愉快で、次のレッスンを楽しみにしています。ありがとうございました！🥰 I hadn't had a Japanese lesson in 2.5 years, so I was a bit nervous. But Aki Sensei was encouraging and quickly put me at ease. A pleasant conversation and I'm looking forward to the next lesson. Thank you very much!
